>So imagine my surprise when I learned of the vast sea of AVNs and other sexy games out there. I was like a little girl in a candy shop, full of wonder, and eagerly sampling and tasting everything .
They're expressing excitment, a man also can use this expression, it's a normal thing.
That’s a "simile", a type of figurative language — they’re comparing their sense of excitement and wonder to that of a “little girl in a candy shop.”

As opposed to a little boy in a candy shop? The actual idiom is "kid in a candy store", which is unisex.

People often personalize or vary expressions for style or emphasis. Saying “little girl in a candy shop” isn’t about gender identity; it’s just a creative way to express excitement and wonder. So it’s still figurative, not literal.

Let me rephrase that, whether it's a little boy or a girl; they're going to show the same level of excitement. So personalizing it that way makes no sense unless it's to align the gender of the person with the idiom.

You kinda remind me of my language teacher who wanted the class to share and take over his psycho-analysis on a random "the house is blue" in some book we had to read in school.

Someone might say “little girl in a candy shop” just because it sounds better or fits their tone, not because they’re matching gender.

Then morrigan wouldn't have said little girl . She could have just used the gender neutral phrase "kid or child in a candy shop".
